Chapter 140 – Yan Lingji: Flew away, really flew away!
Flowers bloomed in the room!
However, Fei Yan’s eyes revealed a hint of curiosity. According to the astrology calculations, the person in front of her is the opportunity. But what is this opportunity? Is it that he can help her unlock the mystery of the Azure Dragon’s Seven Mansions, or he can help her find key clues? Or is there something she can gain from him? Right now, all of this is unknown. So Fei Yan is not in a hurry. Slowly exploring is the way. The Yin and Yang School have waited for hundreds of years, does a bit of time matter to them? So, let’s start with getting to know this person first!
In the sky, pure white snowflakes fluttered down, covering the courtyard with a layer of silver frost. In the reflection of the white snow, Fei Yan’s fair skin emitted a faint glow. Like a celestial maiden descended to the mortal realm, noble and beautiful.
Fei Yan reached out, her palms tender and fair, her fingers slender. Gently lifting a falling snowflake, a smile deepened at the corner of her mouth.
Softly she said, “Seeing this snow, I suddenly remembered a saying.”
She looked at Li Mo, as if waiting for him to ask. Li Mo didn’t keep her waiting, asking, “What saying?”
Fei Yan’s full lips softly closed, and she slowly said, “That day watching the snow, you never looked at me, I never looked at the snow.”
“I wonder if sir has heard this saying before.”
Li Mo was slightly startled. Slightly surprised, “Miss also pays attention to those stories of love and revenge?”
He had definitely heard this saying. Because that book was arranged by him!
Fei Yan smiled, and the whole night suddenly brightened. “I’ve read all the books in the world, only that one is somewhat interesting.”
Even though there’s some suspicion of bragging, it’s not impossible. There aren’t many books in this world, and she spends very little time outside the Yin and Yang School. Besides cultivation, she just reads books. And she’s intelligent, basically memorizing them after reading once.
I admit you are knowledgeable. But feelings are not something you can learn from books. Without experiencing emotions, no matter how many books you read, you’re still unaware!
Li Mo nodded gently, correcting, “I’ve heard it, but this saying is about unrequited love. Using it here might not be very appropriate.”
The original meaning of this saying is one-sided affection. Fei Yan suddenly saying this is indeed a bit out of context.
Yet she calmly said, “I have the intention to share your worries, but sir ignores my words.”
“Is it inconvenient to speak, or do you have many reservations about me?”
Li Mo couldn’t help but chuckle.
“It’s not about reservations, I’m just mediocre person.”
“Saying it out loud would only invite ridicule.”
“To avoid saying something that will make others laugh.”
Girl, we don’t know each other well, how can I say everything to you.
Unless it’s deeply rooted after thorough understanding.
When the relationship reaches a point, I will be able to tell you!
Fei Yan sought to flatter herself but showed no displeasure.
The smile on her lips remained unchanged: “Sir is quick-witted and has such a beautiful woman as his companion.”
“If sir is mediocre, then the other men in the world would not even be considered ordinary people.”
From another perspective, a woman is a man’s face.
Especially a beauty like Yan Lingji who brings disaster to the country.
Directly elevating the status of a partner to another level.
Who would believe that a beauty like that would follow an ordinary person?
At least Fei Yan didn’t believe it!
She has always been curious about how Li Mo was able to effortlessly answer those riddles.
Just as they were discussing Yan Lingji, the door to Yan Lingji’s room opened.
Yan Lingji, who had just bathed, did not wear hairpins, and her soft long hair naturally cascaded down her back.
Perhaps she had soaked in the water for a long time.
Her skin looked pale with a rosy hue.
The blush on her small face was somewhat similar to the complexion after playing with jade!
Leaning against the door frame with her arms crossed.
The elegant S-curve coupled with her charming appearance made people want to salute her involuntarily.
But looking at Li Mo chatting and laughing with Fei Yan in the courtyard, her eyes showed a dangerous glint.
How can this guy flirt with women wherever he goes?
She comes back from the palace smelling of trouble.
Now, staying at an inn and still chatting and laughing with someone else.
On a snowy day, standing outside flirting, aren’t you afraid of freezing into a popsicle?
Fei Yan calmly looked at Yan Lingji and nodded slightly towards her.
Li Mo noticed the dangerous signal in Yan Lingji’s eyes.
He pursed his mouth in confusion.
Asking, “Why are you still not asleep?”
He couldn’t stand “watching” anymore, so he narrowed his perception range a bit.
So he didn’t know what Yan Lingji had been doing in the room for so long.
Seeing her blushing face, he wondered if she was amusing herself!
Yan Lingji took a deep breath, then sighed softly.
A hint of sorrow immediately appeared on her incredibly beautiful and charming face.
A complete drama queen!
“The room is too bright, I can’t sleep.”
She had placed six flower lanterns in the room, and the dazzling colors made her dizzy.
Just like how she made Li Mo dizzy while bathing.
Li Mo grinned, “Actually, you can blow out the candles inside, then it won’t be bright.”
But Yan Lingji tilted her head, and her dark green hair spilled like satin.
Looking at Li Mo’s eyes, filled with alluring charm.
“But I can’t bear to extinguish the fire~”
Li Mo, understood!
You are so coquettish!
So spoiled and coquettish!
Really, I can’t handle you, you little fairy!
Li Mo was softened by her gaze, unable to even speak harshly.
He took a few steps back and sat on a stone stool, saying, “Take out the flower lantern. I’ll show you something fun.”
At the mention of something fun, Yan Lingji’s sky-blue eyes immediately lit up.
Her seductive demeanor faded, revealing a curiosity like that of a young girl.
“How fun is it?”
Li Mo thought for a moment and said, “Fun enough to fly.”
Yan Lingji pursed her lips, tempting enough to make people want to take a bite, and walked back into the room.
“I’ll go get it.”
Fei Yan, watching her swaying figure, couldn’t help but chuckle, “This girl’s temperament is indeed interesting.”
Sometimes full of pity and sorrow.
Sometimes full of captivating charm.
And now in the blink of an eye, she was lively and cheerful.
People like her are either mentally divided or possessed by drama.
Yan Lingji was clearly the latter.
Even the Oscars owe her a little golden man!
Li Mo’s mouth curved into a smile, “It is quite interesting indeed.”
In no time, Yan Lingji came out with six flower lanterns in hand.
Taking small steps, her soft willowy waist swayed gently in the wind and snow.
Wearing a crimson long skirt, she was as proud and enchanting as a red plum in the snow.
So unrealistically beautiful!
Even Fei Yan couldn’t help but reveal a look of amazement in her eyes.
“Here it is, how do we make it fly?”
Yan Lingji’s sky-blue eyes were filled with curiosity, her voice soft and fluffy.
With a hint of confusion.
“Give it to me, let me show you a miracle.”
Li Mo reached out and took the flower lantern from her fair jade-like hands.
Blow out the candle inside and start working.
Yan Lingji squatted at his side, staring without blinking.
Fei Yan, standing aside, also looked expectantly.
Li Mo, under the gaze of the two beauties, calmly modified the lantern.
First remove a few heavy supports, then secure them with bamboo sticks.
Throw away the stick used to hold it in hand.
All things that increase weight are to be discarded.
After a cup of tea’s worth of work, it was finally completed.
Looking at the dismantled lantern, Yan Lingji’s two beautiful eyebrows slowly raised.
“What you call a miracle, is just dismantling my lantern?”
She raised her head, glaring at Li Mo fiercely.
“If you are safe, it is a sunny day for you.”
“If not, this lady will burn you along with this lantern!”
Fei Yan also looked with interest at the lantern modified by Li Mo.
Softly said, “Sir’s craftsmanship is good, the modification is so simple, it is indeed a miracle.”
She didn’t quite believe that the miracle Li Mo spoke of was this.
If that’s the case, then it is a bit disappointing.
This modified lantern is too lightweight, it can’t even support hanging.
So where does the miracle come in?
Li Mo ignored the two and busied himself cutting the candle into small sections.
Yan Lingji rubbed her fingers gently, the small flame was about to burst out.
“Do you or do you not, make it work?”
If Li Mo dared to say it doesn’t work, he would definitely be reduced to ashes along with the lantern.
Li Mo had just installed the last section of nail-sized candle when he hesitated at the words.
“If you want it to work, I am definitely capable of making it work.”
“Don’t believe me, try it?”
Yan Lingji raised her eyebrows, “Then, come on.”
Fei Yan put her white and tender jade hand to her mouth and pondered.
Feeling that the words of these two people seemed a bit strange.
But couldn’t quite put a finger on what was strange.
Li Mo raised the simplified lantern in his hand and instructed Yan Lingji, “Light it.”
Yan Lingji glanced at the small section of the candle on the other end hanging by a few strings.
Her slender fingers slowly reached over.
Chirp!
A small flame emerged from her fingertips.
A hint of surprise flashed in Fei Yan’s eyes, and she couldn’t help but take a closer look at Yan Lingji.
This kind of technique seems to have not been seen in the Central Plains.
“Okay, what’s next?”
Yan Lingji retracted her hand, and the flame on her hand also extinguished.
Li Mo lifted the top of the lantern and said, “Be patient, don’t make too much noise later.”
Yan Lingji gave him a glare.
You should tell your wife this!
She used to disturb my sleep every day!
The heat from the burning candle slowly rose.
Held by Li Mo, the loose gauze fabric also slowly began to expand.
Finally, it swelled up.
Feeling it was almost ready, he slowly let go of his hand.
The modified and extremely lightweight lantern swayed a few times, then swayed and flew up.
Yan Lingji widened her eyes in surprise.
The sapphire-blue eyes were filled with shock!
As the lantern rose, her head raised slightly.
Her small mouth opened wider, revealing a delicate and appetizing tongue hidden inside.
Li Mo swallowed, and then asked, “How is it? Did it fly?”
Yan Lingji, with a cherry mouth open, stared in disbelief at the lantern floating up on its own.
She said stupidly, “Fly… it flew, it really flew.”
Fei Yan also looked at the lantern slowly rising, showing a surprised expression.
The inner calm of her heart was also disrupted by this magical scene.
It wasn’t until the lantern turned into an invisible dot disappeared into the night sky that the two stunned people retracted their gazes.
“How did you do it?”
Yan Lingji looked at Li Mo with starry eyes, like a curious baby asking.
Fei Yan was also full of curiosity.
But she resisted asking out loud.
Just that in her eyes, which were equally bright as Li Mo’s, there was a touch of amazement.
This kind of method, she had never seen before, never heard of before!
She also wanted to know how Li Mo did it.
Li Mo smiled and explained to them openly, “First like this, then like that, and then like this, finally it’s done, simple, right?”
Yan Lingji: “…”
Fei Yan: “??…”
Yan Lingji has a desire to bite him to death. Fei Yan couldn’t help but conceal her smile, covering her mouth. The first time she smiled from the bottom of her heart. This person is quite interesting indeed. Li Mo didn’t tell them. They had just seen the production method. If you want to explain the principle to them, it would be quite far-fetched. “There are a few more, let’s light them all together.”
If you want the Kongming lantern to look good, you need a large quantity. Hundreds and thousands of lanterns flying across half of the night sky, magnificent and spectacular. Yan Lingji immediately put aside her grievances and enthusiastically lit the fire. Showcasing her role as a fire starter to the fullest!
In no time, five lanterns reflected the drifting snowflakes, rising like stars. Yan Lingji stood up, looking up at this magical and beautiful scene. “Close your eyes and make a wish.”
Suddenly, Li Mo’s voice softly sounded. “Make a wish?”
Yan Lingji and Fei Yan both turned their heads towards him. “This is a wishing lantern, it can fulfill your wishes.”
After hearing this, both of them showed a slight interest. While the lanterns were not yet far away, they closed their eyes and clasped their hands together. One dignified and noble, the other charming and beautiful.
The long lashes gently trembled as they slightly lowered their heads. Their porcelain white skin delicate and fragile. Their faces, each with a different style, were equally beautiful and splendid.
Sensing the sincere appearance of the two, Li Mo couldn’t help but lift the corners of his mouth in a smile. Fei Yan was the first to open her eyes and involuntarily glanced towards him. Li Mo raised his face as if feeling something.
Flakes of snow gently fell on his face. The smile on his lips unintentionally conveyed a sense of warmth. It was very comforting to see, giving oneself a feeling of relaxation. Fei Yan’s calm inner self suddenly rippled. Then her whole person was stunned.
She couldn’t understand the emotion surging within her. This kind of feeling seemed unfamiliar. Very strange. It was like, a slightly sweet taste. “That day watching the snow, you never looked at me, I never looked at the snow.”
Finally, Yan Lingji, who had made her wish, also opened her eyes, pointing at the gradually diminishing light. Turning to Li Mo, she asked, “It’s so beautiful, don’t you think?”
Li Mo pursed his lips. The smile on his lips took on a different tone. “I can’t see.”
Yan Lingji and Fei Yan suddenly froze. That faint smile seemed like a heavy hammer hitting their hearts. “I… I…”
Yan Lingji suddenly became at a loss. She knew she had said the wrong thing. Trying to salvage the situation, she said, “I didn’t mean to, I forgot…”
Li Mo always gave her the impression of being no different from others. So, she had almost forgotten that he couldn’t see. “It’s okay, no matter how beautiful the light is, it can’t compare to a beauty in the snow.”
He didn’t mean that he couldn’t see, it’s that the distance the lanterns flew had exceeded his perception range. Yan Lingji blinked her eyes at him. Was he praising me for being beautiful? Fei Yan, with a smile on her face, softly said, “Mister, your open-mindedness is admirable.”
Yan Lingji was afraid that Li Mo would feel down because of what she said earlier. Looking at the disappearing light, she changed the subject, “It seems they flew far, when will they come back?”
Li Mo’s brow twitched, “Once they’ve flown away, they won’t come back.”
Yan Lingji was slightly stunned and slowly turned her head. Word by word, she said, “Are you saying, you lost my lanterns?”
Li Mo tightly bit his lip, “Um, theoretically, it’s like that!”
“Hey hey hey? Don’t hit me, why are you scratching me!”
“You didn’t say you still wanted your lantern, if you hit me again, I’ll hit back!”
Yan Lingji was like an angry little cat, chasing and scratching Li Mo. Fei Yan watched the two playfully chasing each other and running into the room. After blinking her eyes, she suddenly chuckled, covering her mouth!
With gentle eyes slightly narrowed, she could barely contain her laughter. Chased by Yan Lingji, Li Mo rushed into the room. Yan Lingji followed and ran in, lifted her foot back, and closed the door. Suddenly, a flame flickered in her hand. It seemed like she intended to have Li Mo accompany her lantern in a joint burial.
The flames had just lit up and she hadn’t had a chance to speak harshly yet. Her gaze was suddenly drawn to the flowerbed on the table. She had been nurturing the flower buds for so long, and they were finally blooming!
